Arbitration Board Now Available Tb Hebrew Day School Teachers
byBenGallob
NEW YORK, (JTA) -For the first time in the history of the. Hebrew day school movement, an arbitration' board, backed by a rab¬ binical court (Beth Din) will be available to day school I teachers in disputes over salaries and working con- i ditions during the new school year, an official of Torah Umesorah, the National Society for Hebrew Day Schools, disclosed Sept. 4. Rabbi Bernard Goldenberg, director of organization for Torah Umesorah, told the 7 JTA: that the arbitration board proposal had been approved by the National .^Conference of Yeshiva Principals a Torah Umesorah affiliate, and by the Rabbinical Ad¬ ministrative Board of Torah Umesorah. He said the arbitration board will be headed by Rabbi Simon Sch¬ wab of New'; York,- a prominent Orthodox scholar. The board will meet in the 'offices of Torah Umesorah. Rabbi Goldenberg, said the arbitration board comprised of school principals, rabbis and lay leaders, will seek to arbitrate disputes between school boards and teachers over issues of tenure, security, salaries and similar problems. When such a dispute is brought to the arbitration board, Rabbi Goldenberg said, the parties will be advised to settle it
between themselves. If that procedure fails, the teacher can bring the matter back to the board for arbitration. Though the .arbitration ruling is not binding on the school board, a refusal by the board will result in a hearing and a ruling by the board's Beth Din, which will carry "tremendous moral pressure," Rabbi Golden¬ berg said.
In addition, he added, Torah Umesorah will have the additional weapon of refusing to provide teachers to ah obdurate school board. . Rabbi Goldenberg disclosed formation of the arbitration board during a review of the financial situation of the day school movement on the eve of the start of the new school year, which he said had worsened severely under the impact of inflationary pressures on all costs of the schools. Reviewing the problems facing the Hebrew day schools in the New York metropolitan area, Rabbi Goldenberg said that annual tuition rates for the 1974-75 year had jumped 10 to 15 percent, bringing the range of tuition to $700 to |800. Outside of New York, he said, the increase was higher, with the average annual tuition fee ranging between $800 and $1000. He explained that the increase was higher outside of New York, due in part to the

S'ashington and East Berlin, owever, the "special legal status of the Berlin area" is not affected by: the agreement, the officials said. The entire Berlin area is under four power oc¬ cupation by the U.S., Britain, France and the Soviet Union since the end of World Warn.
According to the U.S. officials, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany will seek, to negotiate a lump sum and settlement of claims for Jewish victims or their heirs all over the world, including those residing in the U.S. and Israel. The East German government, they said, refused to deal with they Conference since it is a non¬ governmental body. But the GDR agreed that the "private" -East'.'German organization would discuss the claims. The Claims Conference, whose offices are in New York City, negotiated with the West German government which has paid DM 40 billion (about $15 billion under the present exchange rate) as

reparations for Jewish victims of the Nazi holocaust. In addition,. West Germany, paid Israel in a separate bilateral govern¬ mental agreement reached in 1952, a sum of $720 million in goods and services over a 12-year pperiod. State Department: officials said, however, that the question of payment by the GDR to Israel had not arisen during the negotiations. Israel, they said, had no expectation of payment and the GDR certainly has no expectation of paying since' Israel and the GJDR have no diplomatic relations. East Germany has consistently taken the position that it is hot responsible for the per¬ secution by the Nazis and has no connection with the Nazi regime. American officials pointed out. however, -t ha t the enormity of the crimes against Jews and others is so great that refusal by the East Germans to make reparations and ignore the claims would not be 'iuy ceptable to the U,S. In negotiating their diplomatic agreement, the East Ger¬ mans and the Americans spent most of their time ,

Judaism..
The 10 sessions, which include theology,..,. law, ceremonies, history, Israel, prayer and many other themes, are primarily to give an orientation to Judaism and Jewish life.
